Metz reportedly said she didn’t mind the contract, saying, "That was a win-win for me. Because it’s one thing to try to do it on your own. But as human beings, it’s an ego thing: We’re more likely to do something for someone else."

Earlier this year, Metz gave an interview to the "Today" show, in which she talked about her "journey to stardom as a plus-size woman." Metz said she doesn’t find her value in her body or weight.
